Default Fluid Leak between Inner Primary and Transmission

I have a 2006 Ultra Classic with 20,000 miles on it. Have noticed that after a ride I have a very slight fluid leak between the inner primary and transmission i suspect it is either or both the Main Shaft Seal or/and shifter shaft seal. How difficult is this to fix? What would the best seals be if in fact it is?

I had a similar problem on my old FLHS (Evo) and I would suspect the main shaft seal. The entire primary has to come apart to fix it.

Most likely culprit.

It's not OVER FULL of transmission oil is it???? I took my 06 Ultra in at 20K and the problem was the shifter shaft leaking. They said I had too much Redline in it. They dropped the level a verry slight amount and it quit leaking. That was 5 k ago anf all's well. There is not a wet spot anywhere after that. go figure.... Dan

Are you leaking primary fluid (engine oil) or transmission fluid?
